Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil then lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Add 1 ½ lbs lean ground beef - or beef/pork blend, 1 cup finely chopped onions, ¾ cup bread crumbs - panko crumbs, crushed crackers or tortilla chips, ⅓ cup milk - beef broth or water, 2 eggs, 2 Tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 Tbsp dried minced onion and 1 tsp dried parsley to a large bowl and mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Lightly spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray and pack in the ground beef mixture. Flip the loaf pan and place it onto the baking sheet. This will create the perfect meatloaf shape.

Step 4

Now bake the meatloaf uncovered and without gravy for 40-50 minutes.

Step 5

While the meatloaf is baking mix, 1 package of brown gravy mix as per package instructions. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and check to see if its fully cooked. The best way is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the meatloaf should reach 160°F.

Step 6

Pour gravy on top of cooked meatloaf. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
